SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 529,962, dated November 27, 1894. Application med october 20,1894. serai notzaso. No maar To @ZZ whom it may concern:

Beit known that I, CHRISTIAN A. SALZMAN, of Hamilton,Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination- Tools, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to combination tools of that class adapted to the use of farmers or others in making or repairing articles of wood, leather ormetal, and myimprovement Io consistsrin the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed as illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in Which- Figure l is a side elevation of my device; Fig. 2, a vertical longitudinal section thereof I5 and Fig. 3 a transverse vertical section on the line :1c-a: of Fig. 2, looking in the direction of the arrow.

In the drawings A represents the base preferably of Wood to form a slightly yielding support for the other parts; B, a metal plate covering the top surface of the base; O, a guide or track extending the length of the base and along the middle portion of its top surface. The top of the track projects over z5 the sides like a T rail which it resembles in cross-section. One end ot' the track is formed integral with boss D that projects above its top surface, and with ears E that are extended from each of its sides and by which it is rigidly secured to the base by means'of bolts F inserted therethrough. The opposite end and the middle portion of the track are secured to the base by bolts a and b that have their heads countersunk in its top surface. A series of holes c are formed vertically through the track toward its frontend. The rear portion of the top of said holes is slanted outwardly along the central line of the surface of the track to resemble a series of ratchet teeth formed therein. Anvil G containsa longitudinal interior recess o3 and is formed with interior integral base iianges c that are arranged to slide on each side of the track and under the top projections thereof. External anges f form a wide base on the anvil to cause itlto seat itself more perfectly on the top surface of the base A, and obviate any lateral movement of its top portions. The sides of the anvil are parallel with each other and are flush with the edges of its face. A partition g is formed across the recessy d between the sides of the anvil and under the heel portion'of its face. It forms an angle to the direction of the face for the insertion between them of a wedge shaped block h preferably of wood. The opposite end of the recess contains a Vertical partition t' formed integral with the sides of the anvil and which serves as a bearing for the end of screw H journaled therein and re- 6o tained by pin j. An opening 7c admits access to the interior of recess d over partition t' and. directly under the horn I for the purpose of'V f; facilitating the removal of block or wedge h when desired. An opening Z in the heel 0f 65 the anvils face is convenient for the insertion of a hardy or other tool.

Screw H is extended from the anvil above and parallel with the track and through a threaded opening in boss D thereon. Hand 7o wheel J is secured on theouter extremity of the screw by which it is turned more or less through the boss to move the anvil along the Y track.

Bracket or stand K is formed with internal' 75 and external flanges on its bottom portion similar to flanges e and f on the bottom of the anvil and for the same purposes-z'. e. to guide its movement along the track and to prevent any lateral movement of its top portion. Vise 8o jaw L is formed integral with the bracket and projects from its end adjacent to the anvil and is capable of resisting the pressure of the projecting heelthereof in the manner of a vise jaw. The contiguous faces of said jaws that make contact with each other are serrated to better retain an article that may be clamped between them. The top portion of the bracket is bored horizontally to form a bearing for a drill spindle M that is journaled to rotate on 9o a line with and perpendicular to the end surface of block or wedge h in the anvil. The forward end of said spindle is recessed axially to form a socket for a drill shank, orit may be formed for the attachment of a drill chuck. The opposite end of the spindle terminatesl without the bracket and is provided with a removable crank N which serves to rotate the spindle and actuate the drill O therein. Horizontal plate P integral with the bracket covroo middle of the top surface of the track.

Vpin automatically engages with said ratchet teeth by its own weight as the bracket is moved lengthwise along the track. A spring may be applied to the pin to make its action more positive if desired. The bracket may be secured immovable ou the track by displacing the pin with a clamping bolt that extends through the track and the base block A.

In operation the anvil rests on the yielding base block to lessen its resonance, and the metal surface interposed between the bottom of the anvil and said block forms a smooth surface for the movement; of the anvil along the track by means of the hand wheel and screw. The track is relieved of the weight of the anvil on its top surface and is less liable to injury by the jarring of the anvil in use than if it rested thereon.

To be used as a drill the article to be drilled is placed against the end ofthe wooden bloek that is inserted in the heel end ot' the anvil and is led toward the drill by the movement of the anvil by means of the hand wheel and screw. By removing the drill bit from the spindle the same movement of the anvil will serve to clamp and retain an article between the jaw formed by the heel of the an vil and the jaw projecting from the drill bracket and in a manner similar to a vise. When the distance between the jaws that form the vise is much wider than the article to be clamped the bracket may be quickly moved toward the anvil on the track and locked immovable in a different position on the track by the automatic engagement of the vertical pin in the bracket with the ratchet teeth in the track. By disengaging the pin the bracket may be as quickly returned to its former position and the article released.

By constructing the anvil and the bracket to engage with the outside edges of the track instead of sliding between two tracks, obvi ates the accumulation of drill chips and dirt that would interfere with the movement of the parts between double tracks. In the use of the single track all parts are exposed and are easily accessible to be kept clean.

The device may be easily dismembered for packingr in a small area by the disengagement of the hand screw from the anvil and its removal from the threaded boss, and the removal of the bracket and the anvil from the opposite end of the track. By reversing the operation the parts may be as quickly assembled into operative position. The drill spindle is also removable from the bracketm by first dctaching the crank therefrom.

The bracket may be placed on the track in a reversed position with the crank end of the drill spindle toward the anvil and with the drill bit projecting beyond the end of the track for drilling within wider areas than could swing above the track. The spindle crank may be made sufficiently short to turn clear of the track when tho bracket is re versed thereon. The base block may be se' cured to a post with the drill spindle in a vertical position with the crank end uppermost for certain desired purposes.

Having fully described my improvements, what I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination with a base, a T shaped track secured thereon, an anvil mounted on the base and movably engaging with the track and a hand screw engaging with ajboss formed on one end et the track and with the anvil of a bracket movably engaging with the track and being reversible thereon a vise jaw fortified on the bracket in a line with the heel of the anvil and means to automatically secure the bracket immovable and in (litteru ent positions along the track.

2. The combination with a base, a T shaped track thereon, an anvil movable on the base and engaging with the track, and a hand screw engaging with the track and with the anvil of a reversible bracket movable on the base and along the track, a drill spindle reversibly journaled therein and means to secure the bracket im movably to the track.
